Pisces New Moon: The Power of Surrender

We have moved into Pisces season, a time when our creativity, intuition and connection to Spirit are heightened. With the collective North Node (representing our destiny and area of karmic expansion) now in Pisces, this sign will permeate 2025. Pisces is the final sign in the zodiac, bringing in a completion of cycles and karmic endings. It asks us to let go, to trust in the unknown and surrender to the flow of life. The upcoming new moon in Pisces is especially important as it marks the beginning of eclipse season. Eclipses are cosmic turning points, serving as energetic portals that accelerate growth and change. They usher in important moments of revelation, illuminating what we are being called to shift and release in order to align with our soul’s deeper purpose.

One of the greatest life lessons that I’ve learned around trusting in the unknown came after making the decision to pack up my life and move across the world to China. I had been living in New York City for nine years and felt a void within. Dissatisfied with both my professional and personal life, I deeply desired a change but was afraid to take action. During my final year in New York, I had what many refer to as a “spiritual awakening”: through modalities such as meditation, tarot and energy healing, I opened up my intuition and began to hear the messages of my soul with greater clarity.

I was a high school teacher at the time and had an intuitive nudge to attend an international job school fair. I went with zero expectations and ended up having multiple interviews with amazing schools across the world. When I was offered my dream job at a prestigious school in China (a country that had never been on my radar even to visit), it quickly became clear that the universe was presenting me with an incredible opportunity to uplevel my life. It was one of the scariest and most difficult decisions that I’ve ever made, moving to a country where I knew no one and did not speak the language. It also occurred at a time when my father’s health was deteriorating (he passed right before my move) and a huge part of me felt that I was selfish to put my needs over those of my family. My mind came up with multiple reasons as to why this was a crazy idea.

Yet my intuition spoke louder: deep within there was a knowing, it just felt right. So I took a huge leap of faith, said goodbye to the familiar life I had created in New York and moved to Shanghai, alone with five suitcases. It was, in hindsight, one of the best decisions that I’ve ever made. The universe rewards you when you take a risk and do the thing that makes you uncomfortable; I had some of the most enriching and transformational experiences while living in Asia. I traveled to beautiful places, met incredible people, found myself again and transitioned into the next chapter of my life as a healer. I will forever be grateful for the memories that I have from my time in China.

Letting go of what is familiar isn’t always easy, yet when we release control and trust that the universe is supporting and guiding us towards our soul’s deeper plan, that’s when the magic happens. As we move through Pisces season and into the eclipse portal, where in your life are you being asked to surrender and trust in the unknown?
